The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] Congresswoman Frederica Wilson Supports American Jobs Act

Jobs by Passing the American Jobs Act
Proposal Would Put More People Back to Work, Including Teachers, First
Responders, Veterans, and Construction Workers, and Put More Money in the
Pockets of Working Families
Bipartisan Package Would Create Jobs Immediately and Won't Add a Dime to the
Washington, DC - Congresswoman Frederica Wilson (FL-17) today expressed
strong support for the Americans Jobs Act, a bipartisan proposal put forth
by President Obama before a Joint Session of Congress to get our nation
working again.
"Tonight, President Obama put forth a set of common-sense proposals to
create new American jobs and get our nation back to work," said
Congresswoman Wilson. "Both Democrats and Republicans should come together
to do what's right for our country by passing the American Jobs Act and
putting our country before politics.
"All of us, Democrats and Republicans, have constituents - teachers, first
responders, veterans, and construction workers - who are desperate to get
back on the job. How could anyone say no to them? These are bipartisan,
middle of the road proposals that have received support from both parties
in the past.
"We must also remember that we did not dig ourselves into this deep
recession overnight and we can't expect to solve our all problems in the
blink of an eye. It took us eight long years to get us into this mess in
the first place and it will take us longer than two and a half years to
get out."
"The President is committed to creating jobs of the future and rebuilding
our economy the right way - based on fairness, hard work, responsibility,
and opportunity - not through outsourcing, corporate loopholes, reckless
financial deals, or special tax breaks for Big Oil and the wealthy.
"The time is now for Congress to put jobs first."
President Obama's plan is fully paid for by asking the wealthiest
Americans to pay their fair share and by closing corporate tax loopholes.
As proposed, the American Jobs Act would:
. Cut taxes for small businesses to help them hire and grow
. Put more money in the pockets of working Americans
. Put more people back to work - teachers laid off from state
budget cuts, veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, first
responders, and construction workers rebuilding our roads, bridges, and
. Help the long-term unemployed support their families as they
look for work
Rep. Frederica S. Wilson is a first-term congresswoman representing the
17th District of Florida, including Northern Miami-Dade and Southeast
Broward Counties. She is a former state legislator and school principal
and the founder of the 5000 Role Models for Excellence Project, a
mentoring program for young males at risk of dropping out of school.

Guinness names Filipino as world's shortest man
-A A +ASunday, June 12, 2011
ZAMBOANGA CITY (Updated 10:58 a.m.) -- Guinness World Records on Sunday declared a Zamboanga del Norte resident as the world's smallest man.
Junrey Balawing, who turns 18 Sunday (June 12), was measured at about 24 inches (61 centimeters) from head to foot lying down and slightly above 23 inches (58 centimeters) standing up.
Balawing, the eldest of four siblings, is not only the shortest living man, but the shortest living man in history, the Guinness World Records said.
No monetary prize will be given for Balawing and all other Guinness world record holders.
Balawing unseated Khagendra Thapa Magar of Nepal who is 26.4 inches tall.
Municipal administrator Allan Selda earlier said the local government is preparing to celebrate for the record with balloons and a cake for Balawing. (Sunnex)

The VIA PT800 chipset was released before the PT880 as you can guess by the name. In fact, the PT800 was VIA's first truly "legal" Pentium 4 chipset not under embargo by Intel. While VIA has had its P4X series chipsets, these have been under fire in the courts, and not many motherboard companies dared to take on Intel with the VIA offerings. Now that all has been settled, VIA chipsets for the Pentium 4 processors are set to hit the market and the PT800 looks to have what the budget users need.
The PT800 set is comprised of the PT800 Northbridge and either VIA's VT8235 or the VT8237 Southbridge. VIA uses its proprietary V-Link connection running at 533MB/s to interlink the North and Southbridge, being one of the fastest and most bandwidth available links on the market.
The PT800 is the first chipset from VIA to officially support the three main features Intel Pentium 4 chipsets require today: 800MHz FSB, DDR-400 and Hyper-Threading. While VIA claims support for DDR-400 on the older P4X400, we were never able to get it to work with any of our modules. This chipset, we are happy to say, worked with every module we tested without any compatibility issues. This also marks the first chipset from VIA to support Hyper-Threading Technology. While there is still debate whether or not Hyper-Threading is of benefit, if the feature is there it is nice to see it supported. AGP8x also makes its way into the PT800 as revision 3.0 specifications are indeed needed for today's high level graphics cards.
The memory controller on the PT800 is actually a borrowed design from the KT600. What do we mean? Faststream64. Faststream64 is VIA's new memory controller enhancement designed to reduce memory latency times in order to boost the KT600's performance to that of the nForce2, while it wasn't able to live up to these claims, it certainly does make a huge difference to memory performance for the KT600. Can it do it for the PT800?
The Southbridge of choice for the PT800 is, of course, the VT8237. This Southbridge debuted with the KT600 chipset to be the first to bring native Serial ATA support to the AMD Athlon XP platform. With eight USB 2.0 ports, 10/100 Ethernet as well as Serial ATA RAID support at the same price as the older VT8235, it is definitely the way to go.

It's been a hard few weeks for Pimco's Total Return Fund since Bill Gross announced his defection to Janus Capital Group (JNS). And Janus has capitalized on it.
Data released by Morningstar this morning shows that investors moved $66.4 million into the Janus Unconstrained Bond Fund, the new fund managed by Gross, to bring assets under management to $79.1 million. And according to the WSJ, most of the inflows for the month likely came in the two business days after Gross's surprise departure from Pimco on Sept. 26.
That's great news for Janus. But the WSJ points out that the money that poured into the Janus fund is a fraction of the net $23.5 billion that investors pulled in September from the Pimco Total Return Fund.
Earlier today, the Florida agency that oversees the state's retirement announced that it plans to pull more than $2 billion from Pimco.
The announcement last month that Bill Gross planned to join Janus Capital (JNS) has generated much excitement over the potential asset that the star portfolio manager might bring along. But the news hasn't convinced J.P. Morgan analyst Kenneth Worthington to raise his underweight rating Janus.
Why? In short, Worthington argues that with Gross being over 70 years old, it is unlikely he will have a long tenure at Janus. So any assets and related earnings associated with his arrival will likely have a short shelf life.
As Worthington writes:
Valuing Gross AUM and revenue by DCF rather than multiple. If Bill Gross attracts meaningful assets to Janus, it will be based on his longer term brand. As such, when Gross leaves Janus, we expect the majority of the asset will leave too. Given Bill Gross is over 70, there is limited time both to build assets and to build a sustainable brand apart from Bill Gross. Assets are fleeing Pimco, which Gross cofounded in 1971 and departed 43 years later. A shorter tenure at Janus should mean greater risk for asset flight…We rather believe that when Bill Gross leaves Janus, that assets will follow within two years. If he leaves after 5 years, we think 2016 revenue based on ending assumed AUM of $30bn should be valued at 5.5x. If he stays for a decade, a 12x is justified if he can raise $100bn in our view. Either way, we see Janus overvalued on Gross' contribution…
Worthington is not the first Wall Street analyst to caution investors against getting overexcited over Gross's arrival at Janus. On Sept. 26, Citigroup analyst William Katz upgraded Janus to Neutral on what he called "the stunner news." Still, last week he cautioned that Gross had requested a very small team to assist him in his Newport Beach, Calif. office, begging the question of how rapidly he might bring assets to Janus and how much in aggregate he will ultimately oversee.
Monday morning, Janus shares traded at $14.52, up 0.2% from Friday's closing bell.
Rising flows might make 2013 the year of the asset manager.
Asset managers have spent the last three years "in the wilderness (from an organic growth perspective)," writes Sandler O'Neill's Michael Kim in a note out today, but that may be about to change, as investors become more willing to take on risk. This should increase flows in the coming year, while also boosting assets under management and earnings per share, thus allowing the stocks' multiples to expand–especially as the group still trades below historical averages. (Of course, this assumes that the broader market remains relatively upbeat.)
While mutual funds have suffered outflows in recent weeks, Kim sees this trend reversing in the new year: With the losses of the financial crisis slowly fading from memory, investors will become more risk tolerant, and hungry for equities (to some extent at the expense of bonds). "In turn, rising demand for return-oriented strategies likely drives accelerating asset/EPS growth for the industry, particularly with AUM mixes across most publicly traded asset managers still skewed toward retail equities."
Moreover, he notes that outflows are largely due to investors taking their money out of industry giants like American Funds and Fidelity, distorting the overall flow picture: "Indeed, the $6.5 billion of net outflows from active equity mutual funds (excluding American Funds & Fidelity) in November translates into a <2% annualized loss rate."
So which asset managers should you buy? Kim sees Affiliated Managers Group (AMG) and T. Rowe Price (TROW) potentially getting the biggest boost from investors returning to risk, while AllianceBernstein (AB) Franklin Resources (BEN), Invesco (IVZ) and Virtus Investment Partners (VRTS) should keep gaining share "regardless of prevailing investor sentiment," he notes. Blackstone (BX), KKR (KKR) and Oaktree Capital Group (OAK) also remain favorites, but he is wary of what he sees as firms with more "muted" flow outlooks, including Artio Global Investors (ART), Eaton Vance (EV), Federated Investors (FII) and Janus Capital (JNS).
Goldman Sachs analysts poured a tall cup of "Sell This Stock" on asset manager Janus Capital (JNS) this morning, a challenge to the nice ride that investors in this mutual-fund purveyor have enjoyed in 2012. The effects are evident in afternoon trading, with Janus' stock trading down 3.5% to $7.91.
You've heard the case that owning an asset-management stock has, at least this year, worked out much better than the average mutual fund – Janus entered today's session up nearly 30% YTD. Goldman expects Janus' good times to end, oh, any minute now.
Performance fees and the firm's overall product mix are both shifting to lower-revenue areas, which are two reason that overall fundamentals remain "soft," as analysts Marc Irizarry, Danielle Matsumoto, Stephen Jones and Anupam Mathur put it. Tough performance in equity funds should continue to keep up, which does nothing to stem asset outflows. Topping all that off, the good feeling that followed a 20% stake taken by Japanese insurer Dai-ichi is wearing off.
It's enough for the firm to downgrade its investment recommendation on the shares to "sell" from "neutral" while also cutting earnings projections as far out as 2014. The firm dropped its Janus earnings view to 60 cents per share, from 71 cents, for 2014.
As exchange-traded funds and other investing vehicles have ballooned in number, the task of figuring out what works well and what doesn't has only gotten harder.

This is my first garden so I am sorry if this is a stupid question. I moved my cauliflower and broccoli to my raised bed (from another location that was getting taken over by squash). Upon moving, both were wilted and then came back to life. The broccoli is even growing heads, however, both had funky discoloration (yellowish) and now the cauliflower is browning. The internet says Boron deficiency is the most common cause of browning. Can I do anything about it at this point? Will it still grow? And, is it safe to eat? |
Follow-Up Postings:

Broccoli and cauliflower florets might also brown or yellow around the edge as the plant bolts (due to the heat, no doubt). Does your plant look like it's bolting (i.e. beginning to flower). |
- Posted by farmerdill 8a GA (My Page) on Thu, Jul 24, 14 at 15:31
Boron deficiency is rare. I expect your problem began with stressing your plants by moving them. I don't know where you are, but unless you are a frigid far northern state cauliflower will not head properly at summer temps. Broccoli is a bit more tolerant, but still quits in midsummer. In both cases you are eating the flower heads, but you do want them to form properly and quickly. If your are does indeed have boron deficiency ( ask your Ag extension agent) a sprinkling of 20 mule team borax will solve the problem for next year. Nothing you can do about now. Make sure tho, too much boron is worse than not enough. |
Thanks! I am in Wisconsin. My neighbor also has brown cauliflower (and did not move hers). I suspect it makes sense it was the heat/move. All this did happens when we finally got some sunshine up here. Of course, then my eggplant, peppers, and tomatoes got their grove on. I also think that the squash plants were giving the brassicas more shade that they liked. I am not sure if they are "bolting" but they are both growing heads. The cauliflower is bigger than the broccoli. I am happy though I will be able to still eat them. |

Atlantic City's Latest Comeback
Atlantic City's boardwalk hummed with activity on a balmy Saturday afternoon in July. A cavalcade of families roamed the sandy platform, dawdling over soft-swirled ice cream cones and baskets of fried Oreos, flanked by the umbrella-laden Jersey Shore. A gaggle convened outside Caesars for the annual food and wine festival, this year headlined by a group of Food Network stars: Robert Irvine, Rocco DiSpirito, and Pat and Gina Neely. Kitschy shops were full of tourists snatching up t-shirts and knickknacks. The scene was a snapshot of Americana at its best, a throwback to AC's heyday.
But despite the robust crowds on this weekend, it has been a frenetic road for a relic that once thrived as the eastern seaboard's entertainment epicenter. The Great Recession, Hurricane Sandy, and overall tourism shifts (Pennsylvania is now the northeast's gambling capital) have taken their toll. The gleaming 2012-opened, $2.4 billion Revel was supposed to be the antidote, a Las Vegas-grade temple to Michelin-star restaurants, clubby pool parties, and an ultra-luxe spa. The brain trust used Sin City's evolution as a template, one that focuses on self-indulgent pleasures over blackjack and roulette tables; gambling was supposed to be an afterthought. A $111 million loss and March bankruptcy later, the hotel is now switching its attention, unveiling slot machine promotions and advertising campaigns—"Gamblers Wanted"—to draw visitors to their casino (they've even lifted the ban on smoking).

Religious leaders will be excluded from the 10th anniversary memorial service of New York City's 9/11 tragedy. Critics of the decision argue that religious leaders played an important role during and after the tragedy and should be included.
Former New York Deputy Mayor Rudy Washington, who was serving in office at the time of the September 11, 2001 attack, expressed outrage at the exclusion in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
"This is America, and to have a memorial service where there's no prayer, this appears to be insanity to me. I feel like America has lost its way," Washington said. more >>
Reporters are scrambling to catch sight of Casey Anthony. They're plotting potential plane routes across country, reporting rumored hideouts, naming people who could, or would, or might be "hiding her." There was even the potential, as reported last week, that Anthony may have landed here in San Diego County.
Whether you have concluded she was wrongly accused or wrongly released, there's no denying the fact that this woman has captivated a nation. Anthony's trial was broadcast live on several cable news channels. The day the verdict was announced, Headline News attracted the biggest audience in its history, exceeding their coverage of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Why are we unable to look away? What bearing does the plight of Casey Anthony have on our individual lives? Aside from our gawking tendencies, there's something more concrete that draws us to this story. more >>
To most people, when the word "Afghanistan" is mentioned the concept of being able to openly criticize the government does not come to mind, unless followed up with the phrase "punishable by death."
However, post-9/11 Afghan society has been making great strides toward a working democracy and citizens have known greater personal freedoms now than under the Taliban. There is no better sign of a budding democracy than a media not afraid to challenge power holders. With its new television series titled, "The Ministry," Afghan citizens are able to participate in mocking their own government.
The show is Afghanistan's version of the U.S. and Britain's comedy show "The Office," which pokes fun of incompetent managers in an office environment. In the Afghan version, the show is set in a fictional "ministry of garbage" in Hechland (which translated from Dari to mean "Nothing Land"). The main character (otherwise known as the Afghan version of Michael Scott) is the loveable but incompetent leader of "The Office," Dawlat, the head minister. more >>
American Atheists may not have anticipated it, but a suit they recently filed in New York to remove a cross in a 9/11 museum has turned even non-conservatives and skeptics against the group's litigious zeal.
The Washington Post's On Faith section says few panelists defended the suit filed about two weeks ago to stop the display of a metal cross at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.
"Even our own atheist contributors seemed to feel that the lawsuit was 'frivolous' and distracted from real church and state battles," it notes. more >>
For the first time since military forces in Iraq and Afghanistan began using makeshift bombs, there is new research that offers hope for U.S. soldiers wounded by explosions.
Bioengineers at Harvard University can now explain how the blast of an exploding bomb can result in disastrous injuries in the nerve cells and blood vessels of the brain.
Researchers discovered this week that if a soldier is near a bomb when it explodes, it sets off a chain reaction of destructive molecular signals within the nerve cells of the brain. more >>
This fall a reality series entitled "All American Muslim" will premiere on TLC. The series will follow five Muslim families living in one of the country's largest Muslim communities, Dearborn, Mich. The town is also home to the largest mosque in the United States.
The show intends to allow "viewers into a world they might not otherwise experience," said Amy Winter, TLC's general manager.
"Through these families and their diverse experiences, we will explore how they blend their values and traditions with everyday life in America," stated Winter, "providing insight into their culture with care and compassion." more >>

Discuss A.Word.A.Day--megillahThis week's theme: Words from Yiddish. megillah (meh-GIL-uh) noun A long, tedious account. [From Yiddish megile (scroll), from Hebrew megillah, from galal (to roll). The term alludes to the length of the text in the Book of Esther which is read in its entirety, twice, during Purim, a Jewish festival.] See more usage examples of megillah in Vocabulary.com's dictionary. -Anu Garg (words at wordsmith.org) "But the obvious challenge was to go through the whole megillah -- to begin with the Andante in C Major, which Mozart wrote when he was five, and proceed to the bitter end, the Requiem." Alex Ross; The Storm of Style; The New Yorker; Jul 24, 2006 X-BonusWe are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves. -Francois, duc de La Rochefoucauld, moralist (1613-1680) |

Hi all: I have a pond at the bottom of a hill that is covered in grass. There is a small retaining wall then about 3 feet of flat rocks to walk on. This seperates the grass lawn from the pond. I just dont know what weed killer and fire ant stuff to use. I live in Mississippi and fire ants are bad here. The reason Im asking is my husband did use a weed killer and all the pond plants died. I think the dust from him spreading it got to them. Next year I hope to use something safe or a technique that will help. Any suggestions would be appreciated,,,, thank you Gayle |

Pour Parsons amonia into the ant beds and it will kill them. Glenda |

Weeds are plants and if it kills them, it can kill your pond plants. Herbicides for use in lawns will kill any broadleafed plant that isn't a grass. 2-4D which is what the chemical is in most Weed N'Feeds has vapors that drift a long way. If the pond is downhill, I would not use any chemical weed control on the lawn. |

Namibia has a population of 1.8 million - about the same as Kansas City - and one of the world's highest rates of HIV/AIDS. An estimated 21% of the adult population is infected. It's driven average life expectancy down to 49 years and it's been the leading cause of death since 1996. At least 60,000 Namibian children under the age of 17 have lost both parents to the virus.
It was these children Berman came to see. At schools and shelters along her route, she handed out over 2,000 brightly-colored, hand-knitted bears, each affixed with a label: With Love, Mother Bear Ellen....Mother Bear Joan... Mother Bear Banafsheh, and a bright red heart.
She watched as children eagerly took the little toys and began to play. At one stop, she saw little girl take off her torn shoes and put them on her new bear's feet. Other children tied them to their backs like Namibian mothers carry babies.
"One mother we offered a bear to sat down for a moment," Berman recalls. "Then she came over an put her baby in our truck and wanted us to take her back to America. It was heartbreaking."
* * *
The Mother Bear Project had its origins in a story Berman, a Minnesota mother of two, read in a 2003 issue of Marie Claire.
It described the horrifying phenomena of "the Virgin Cure." Believing that sex with a virgin would cure AIDS, some men were raping children and babies. A child protection unit in Durban, South Africa was calling for items of comfort for children they had rescued.
"I could not just close the magazine and continue with my everyday life knowing there were children in such pain," she told a South African newspaper later that year.
Her mother had knitted bears for each of Berman's children from an World War II-era pattern, and they had loved them until they were threadbare. They were fairly small and lightweight. "The only problem was I didn't knit."
Her mom dug out the pattern and gave her a tutorial. "I muddled through my first bear, and began inviting 25+ women into my home every Friday from 9-1 for coffee, cookies and learning to make bears."
* * *
Some nine years later, the Mother Bear Project has handed out 69,650 bears in 19 Africa nations and Haiti.
Berman hit on a project that appealed to the best in people: the desire to bring a little happiness to the heart of a child in need. As word of her project spread in that first year, she began receiving bears by the bushel.
When she knitted her first Mother Bear, "I had never been to Africa. I had no connection to Africa in any way." Now, she has a network of contacts stretching from Liberia to South Africa. Her distribution system is almost totally organic: "Some of our best bear contacts have been discovered by other bear contacts."The creation of Mother Bears has become a truly global movement. They've received bears from every U.S. state, from Australia, Ireland, Spain, Scotland, Mexico and several other countries. They were recently surprised by a shipment of 150 bears knitted by four women in Iran.
She isn't sure how many people have participated in the Project over the years, "but I would say hundreds, perhaps thousands." There are at least 200 people in the "100 Bear Club," and know that three or four have made over 1,000.
* * *
Running the project has become a full-time job for Berman. She tracks the inflow and outflow over 1,000 bears a month, sends a personal note to each sender, keeps in touch with her contacts around Africa, sends out kits and patterns, writes fundraising letters and the newsletter, keep the books ("my least favorite job," she admits), participates in two knitting groups in the Twin Cities each month, joins the monthly packing sessions, and even works with the yarn rolling group that helps create kits for even more bears. She visits Africa every two or three years, and travels the yarn trade-show circuit to raise awareness of the Project. During her rare down times, she knits tiny ornamental bears to sell on the website to raise additional funds.
She's helped by a small army of volunteers. Aside from the knitters and bear contacts around the world, she also has the assistance of energetic volunteers at the home office.
Her mother, for example, repairs bears that arrive in Minnesota with rips or missing necks or button eyes that need to be replaced with embroidery. "I call her the Florence Nightingale of bears." Her packing coordinator, Jean Holm, finds people to pack the bears, stored in two storage units, into boxes of 50. Another volunteer stamps 1,000 of "With Love" tags, while still another uploads the hundreds of pictures of children and their bears on the Project's website.
Amazingly, the Project gets by on small donations. "We've tried to get grants," she says, "but it just seems like there are no grants for comfort - something every child needs."
Asked what one thing would make everything easier, Berman doesn't hesitate: "A corporate sponsor who could help cover some of our shipping expenses. We spend over $2,000 a month on shipping." The price of shipping a single box of 50 bears has doubled since she started the project, and it's currently their largest expense.
* * *
Beyond logistics, Berman also faces the challenge of keeping Mother Bears apolitical and agnostic.
"Our bears have been made by people of all faiths from all over the world, and I want this project to be inclusive of all."
This had made her "quite picky" about who can distribute bears. They can't be given out as holiday gifts or with religious messages. "They are to be given with love as they are intended to be unconditional gifts."
There's one important holiday on the Mother Bear calendar: World AIDS Day.
However extraordinary it is to make and distribute 69,650 bears, Berman is mindful that there are over 16 million AIDS orphans in the world today. Her project seeks not only to reach as many of those children as possible, but to raise awareness of their plight.
In many counties, AIDS orphans are push to the margins of society. They're ignored or shunned; often, they're the only ones left alive to care for younger siblings or sick and elderly relatives. Through no fault of their own, they've been robbed of much of the joy of being children.
The Mother Bear Project wants to return a little of that stolen sense of childhood. It's "something to call their own - a friend to talk to, a toy to play with, a soft bear to lighten their hearts."
She heard of one small orphan in South Africa who rushed back into his collapsing home during the torrential rains of spring to rescue his bear. When asked why, he explained: "The bear has a heart on it, and that means someone loves me."
Some children, further stigmatized when their own HIV-positive status has been discovered, call their bears their only friends. "Some have even asked to be buried with their bears."
"Americans and people everywhere need to realize that we really share the burdens of our brothers and sisters all over the world," she says. "Small acts can have very large outcomes, and everyone can find a way to make a difference."

Is the belief in folk-cure in South Africa changing now that Thabo Mbeki is out and the gov't is taking a more conventional approach to treatment?
I wrote this back in 2000, talking about the phenomena of AIDS dissenters like Mbeki:

We were walking around Lowes and saw sliding glass doors that have blinds between the panes of glass. Lowes carries the Pella and Jeld-Wen brands. As it so happens, we are looking to replace a sliding glass door at our house, and are considering our options. Option 1: get a sliding glass door w/ the blinds btw panes What would you guys choose? If you choose option 1, any recommendations on brands/models? Same question for option 2. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Jeldwin is low end and pella vinyl is junk/ cheaply made. If you want a high grade vinyl, i would look at Okna or Sunrise. Both are high quality with internal blind options, |
Thank you, mmarse1. Do you have an opinion of whether or not to purchase the sliding door w/ the blinds? My concern is trying to fix the blinds should they malfunction or break. |
Just a quick update - spoke to a dealer who sells sliding doors. One of the things she warned me of was that, for sliding glass doors w/ the blinds, the glass will not have the low-e coating (which aids in insulation). Given that, we may just opt for a regular sliding glass door w/ blinds/drapes. We will look into Okna and Sunrise. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Thu, May 16, 13 at 7:58
They are correct. Most SGD with internal blinds have neither soft-coat low-e or an argon fill. Some do come with hard coat low-e but the blinds tend to offer the client much of the shading control and therefore control the heat. That is probably the biggest complaint (minus just malfunctions and failure) we get around older patio doors - heat and bleaching the floor. |
